GROWING Up Supermodel follows a new group of hot young models risking it all to live up to the careers of their famous parents. With the names and the genes of their gorgeous parents on their side, these celebrity offspring seem destined to make it to the top, but the right DNA is only half the battle in this competitive world.
These young models are all finding out that making a career is hard work, and having a famous name is a double-edged sword, creating expectations and burdens at the same time it generates opportunities. Meanwhile, the parents, whose success has paved the way, discover that being a star is much easier than raising one.
CAST
KELLY & ARISSA LE BROCK
1980s pin-up goddess Kelly quite consciously left Hollywood behind years ago so she could raise her children in relative anonymity three hours to the north in Santa Ynez. But now that her daughter Arissa, 23, has decided to become a model, Kelly finds herself getting more and more drawn back into the lifestyle that was dangerous to her in her youth. Arissa, of course, is no ordinary pin up girl. Rather, she’s a plus-sized model on a crusade to earn acceptance for non-traditional body types.
BEVERLY & CAIRO PEELE
Supermodel Beverly enters the season eight months pregnant with a baby girl on the way, and Cairo, 23, is not happy about it. Cairo wants Beverly to reclaim her mantle as a supermodel and global celebrity, partially because Cairo wants to bask in the reflected glow of that. While Beverly works to juggle the demands of her baby girl with the demands of her oldest daughter, Cairo struggles to find the same level of success her mom enjoyed at her age.
ANDREA, CAMBRIE & FAITH SCHRODER
Andrea is in the middle of a divorce with her famous husband, and she’s still learning the ropes as a single mom. Older daughter Cambrie, 20, is entrepreneurial and independent-minded – and ready to move out of the house, leaving Andrea even more alone. Faith is just 15, but she’s not ready to accept her mother as any kind of disciplinarian. Throughout the season, Andrea and her daughters struggle to redefine their family in the face of major life changes.
SHANNA MOAKLER & ATIANA DE LA HOYA
Former Miss USA and Playboy model Shanna is an active single mother raising a typically insecure teenage daughter in Atiana, 17, who has the looks and the pedigree to become a serious model, but is lacking in motivation. Shanna trains ambitious pageant contestants for a living, but will she be able to light a spark in her own daughter? Atiana feels she has enough stress in her life just trying to plan the perfect 18th birthday party. To pull it off, she’s going to have to depend upon the kindness of her father, the famous but troubled boxer Oscar De La Hoya, who’s nearly a stranger to her.
JD & JANIS OSTOJIC
The first major hurdle this father-and-son modeling duo has to overcome is merely arriving in Los Angeles to begin their careers. Father JD and son Janis, 21, find themselves trapped in their homeland of Belgium as their work visas get delayed thanks to the current political climate. When they land, however, they make an immediate splash among the rest of the cast. JD is the only father on the show who is a present and stable force in his children’s lives. The tightness of JD’s family and marriage stands as a shining example to all the broken homes of his fellow cast mates.
KRISTA ALLEN & JAKE MORITT
Former “Baywatch” bombshell Krista never wavers in her loyalty and support for her son, Jake, 19. When Krista runs afoul of the Schroder sisters while trying to defend their mom, Jake proves he’s always got her back. But Krista and Andrea soon find themselves at odds, and Krista won’t back down when she feels she’s been wronged. Jake is working to get his modeling career off the ground, and he’s all up for networking with the group. But when a major rift develops, Jake can’t stay neutral for long.
